In a recent issue of The Advocate, there was a copy of the valedictory address by Kimberley Wiens of Lomond. It was a refreshing boost to my feeling about young people and also on the way schools turn out graduates ill prepared to meet the real world head on. In the address, Kimberley speaks of the value of inner beauty, quite a contrast from the world's preoccupation with clothes, looks, and material goods. We live in a society that promotes the individual but in reality, we must have a support group, we must be part of a team to really succeed in today's world. There are only a very few truly capable of individual achievement. There is the fallacy out there that you can be anything that you want, anything that you put your mind to. That is just not true. According to my math, 23 individuals have been Prime Minister of Canada. 23 out of how many millions who have lived since 1867? And a few of those were ill equipped for the job, come to think of it. How many young hockey players aspire to the NHL? How many actually make it? Not that many. Think of all the rock star wannabe's. Thankfully most of their careers flame out and die a deserving death. But think of all the others who become doctors, nurses, teachers, farmers, bankers and so on. They live perfectly happy lives enjoying family life, building and contributing to communities throughout Canada. They have iearned how to be community leaders. They have learned how to form networks of friends and co-workers. In the same vein, I read of a Boston area teacher who was frank with his students. "You are not special. You are not exceptional." He was making a statement to parents "who overdo it. Focused on collecting achievements. You've been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped...feted and fawned over. You see, if every one is special then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless/ He pushed students to recognize real achievement: "The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life is an achievement,"' and he encouraged graduates "to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in its importance."
Kimberley tells us: Don't think that our transformation from caterpillars into butterflies is now complete. Quite the contrary - I think it has only
begun. It is a lifelong journey of learning and growing into the people God made us to be."
For those of us who graduated many years ago, we can see the truth of this as we continue to adapt, to evolve and grow in a world that expands and contracts at the same time, where changes happen and we are left struggling to keep up. I don't think there is a status quo any more. This is true in my line of work. How to get the message to a world that is increasingly hostile to receiving it? But in that too - God will provide and prevail. See you in church.uty By Michel

The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands. The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."
"Gentlemen, remember — you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."
The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information.
After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand.
"Yes?" said the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"
In the pub...
I was in a pub on Saturday night. Had a few beers.... I noticed two large women by the bar.
They both had strong accents so I asked, "Hey, are you two ladies from Ireland?"
One of them chirped: "It's WALES you friggin' idiot!"
So, I immediately apologized and said..., "Sorry, are you two whales from Ireland?"
That's the last thing I remember...
Gardening with Grandma
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see- through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that! The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" And out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate. The grandmother says, “Loosen up, Sweetie.
If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets."
Happy Gardening.Milo

Save the Koala
(https:// www.savethe koala.com/) According to re­search, Australian koala populations are dwindling and threats such as climate change and urban sprawl are destroying their habitats. Recently, koalas have been added to the threatened species list. This site, run by the not-for- profit Australian Koala Foundation, provides a wealth of information on the koala and the threats that they are facing. It also provides a multitude of ways for you to contrib­ute to this cause.

TECH TIPS
One Space or Two?
Did you know that the proper number of spaces to leave after a period in a typed document is actually one, not two? If you are like the majority of the population, you were taught to always leave two spaces after a period. But this rule was created to compensate for the loose look of mono-spaced type used on typewriters up until about the 1970s. In fact, the single space was adopted by typeset­ters long before hat (the early 20th Century). The double space started to be used in the mid-20th century with the influx of type­writers in the workplace. This is because the mono-spaced type that typewriters use, require hat every character occupies an equal amount of horizontal space. As a result, the text looks loose .leaving a lot of white space between characters. This made the double space after a period necessary to clearly dilineate sen­tences. However, with modern font types this is unnecessary, and now type professionals never use two spaces after a period. In fact, every major style guide, including the MLA Style Manual and Chi­cago Manual of Style, recommend a single space after a period.
This long held habit is a hard one to break though. Just look at the next email or correspondence you get - many people even like to put 3 or 4 spaces after periods.

Happy Canada Day!Chinook Arch Celebrates 20 Years
3T The following is a speech given by
V_.y CEO Maggie Macdonald at the 20th Anniversary
"Chinook Arch is celebrating 20 years of collaboration, innovation and leadership. The old truism “the more things change, the more they stay the same” cannot be said to apply to the past two decades in the library and information world. Looking back, 1992 seems like a different world: AT&T introduced the first video phone - a bargain at $1500, personal computers were not yet ubiquitous, and the internet had not even entered the public consciousness. Portable technology was a distant dream. In 1992, one gigabyte of memory cost $125,000, which means that the iPod Nano you can buy today for $149 would have cost about $2 million. And, in 1992, libraries throughout southern Alberta were mostly isolated as they did their best to meet their users’ needs on their own.
In the past 20 years, as you know, the world of information has changed radically - and libraries have been swept up in the wave. Working together, Chinook Arch libraries have been at the vanguard of change. In 1994, Chinook Arch became the first System in Alberta to start to connect all of its member libraries via a wide-area network. By the end of 1995 all our members were connected and their library holdings were in the catalog. Since our first year recording shared materials between libraries, resource sharing numbers have increased exponentially such that by last year the volume of materials shared had increased by 1,500% since 1994. In 2011 more than 300,000 items moved from one library to another (and back again!). In addition to the materials delivered from one library to another, tens of thousands of books and DVDs are borrowed by patrons who make use of the fact that their library card is reciprocal and can be used at every one of our 32 library sites.
Chinook Arch can claim many instances of early adoption of new technology such as public access internet stations in some of our libraries as early as 1994, the adoption of an the Overdrive ebook lendinq service, the Bibliocommons catalogue and the RISE videoconference network.
Another change that has had a major impact on library service in the past 20 years is a significant increase in collaboration first informally among Alberta's regional libraries and eventually more formally with all libraries in Alberta through TAL. It is safe to say that Alberta libraries stand out in Canada for their level of collaboration which enhances services in every community. We have grown from a network of libraries that shared books to a network that shares all kinds of library services includinq proqrams over our videoconference network.
It bears noting that our provincial public library services branch has also done much to facilitate change and to support libraries as we moved forward in this highly technological age. As early as 1997 the PLSB earmarked funds for library technology that resulted in the creation of the Alberta Public Library tlectronic Network. Over the years as APLEN evolved Chinook Arch has benefitted in a number of ways. Because Chinook Arch had already developed its wide area network, we were able to use APLEN funds to introduce a variety of new technologies. For example, as a direct result of APLEN we were able to introduce remote support for our member libraries computers as early as 1998. We were also able to develop our first websites with a rudimentary content management system and site for every member library beginning in 1999.
Perhaps most important was the support that PLSB gave that led to funding for Supernet connections in every public library in Alberta!
Of course, none of this innovation could happen without the solid commitment and hard work of Chinook . rch staff and Board. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some exceedingly intelligent and talented people. Together, we ve built an incredibly strong and dynamic team that puts in an amazing effort each day to ensure that our members’ needs are met as they go about providinq excellent service in their local communities.
There are a lot of people to thank for the successes of Chinook Arch. I start with our member municipalities and library boards who have supported the System and adapted to change. I also want to thank our staff and all those who have participated as Board members through the years. I thank the Alberta Governments Public Library Services Branch which has provided much support and encouragement. And finally I thank our colleagues from other regional libraries and other libraries throughout the province who are as committed to collaboration as we are.
We have advancedI collaboratively by leaps and bounds and have together created a fantastic example of collaborative leadership and innovation in library service. I am confident that Chinook Arch will continue to meet and conquer the challenges of change in the next 20 years as effectively as we have done these first 20 years.”Recipe

The story of “The Daffodil Principle” originally appeared nearly ten years ago in Jaroldeen Edwards’ book “Celebration!”
Several times my daughter, Julie, had telephoned to say, “Mom, you must come see the daffodils before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two- hour drive from my place by the beach to her lakeside mountain home.
“I will come next Tuesday,” I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call. The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I got in the car and began the long, tedious drive.
When I finally walked into Julie’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Julie! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and the children that I want to see bad enough to drive another inch!”
My daughter smiled calmly, “We drive in this all the time, Mom.”
“Well, you won’t get me back on the road until it clears and then I’m heading straight for home!” I said, rather emphatically.
“Gee, Mom, I was hoping you’d take me over to the garage to pick up my car,” Julie said with a forlorn look in her eyes.
“How far will we have to drive?”
Smiling she answered, “Just a few blocks, I’ll drive ... I’m used to this.”
After several minutes on the cold, foggy road, I had to ask “Where are we going? This isn’t the way to the garage!”
“We’re going to the garage the long way,” Julie smiled, “by way of the daffodils.”
“Julie,” I said sternly, “please turn around.”
“It’s all right, Mom, I promise, you will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”
After about twenty minutes we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church I saw a hand-lettered sign ...
Daffodil Garden
We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Julie down the path. As we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped.
Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it down over the mountain peak and slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, saffron, and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted as a group so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue.
Five acres of the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen!
“Who planted all these?” I asked Julie.
“It’s just one woman,” Julie answered, “She lives on the property. That’s her home,” and she pointed to a well-kept A- frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory.We walked up to the house and on the little patio we saw a poster...
Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking
50,000 bulbs One at a time By one woman 2 hands, 2 feet and very little brain Began in 1958
There it was ... “The Daffodil Principle”
For me that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than thirty-five years before, had begun - one bulb at a time - to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.
Still, this unknown, old woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. She had created something of magnificent beauty, and inspiration.
The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration:
•learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time, (often just one baby-step at a time)
•learning to love the doing,
•learning to use the accumulation of time
When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.
“It makes me sad in a way,” I admitted to Julie, “What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five years ago and
had worked away at it ‘one bulb at a time’ through all those years. Just think what I might have been able to achieve!”
My daughter summed up the message of the day in her direct way, “Start tomorrow, Mom,” she said, “It’s so pointless to think of the lost hours of our yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson a celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask ... “
She was right. It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, 'How can I put this to use today?'
Use the Daffodil Principle. Stop waiting...
Until your car or home is paid off Until you get a new car or home Until your kids leave the house Until you go back to school Until you finish school Until you clean the house Until you organize the garage Until you clean off your desk Until you lose 10 lbs.

Until you get a divorce
Until you have kids

Prostate check-up...
An old guy goes to his doctor for his physical and gets sent to the Urologist as a precaution. When he gets there, he discovers the Urologist is a very pretty female doctor.
fhe temale doctor says, "I'm going to check your prostate today, but this new procedure is a little different from what you are probably used to. I want you to lie on your right side, bend your knees, then while I check your prostate, take a deep breath and say, 99.”
The old guy obeys and says,"99".
1 he pretty doctor says, "Great. Now turn over on your left side and again, while I repeat the check, take a deep breath and say 99."
Again, the old guy says, "99."
Ihe doctor said, "Very good. Now then, I want you to lie on your back with your knees raised slightly. I'm going to check your prostate with this hand, and with the other hand I m going to hold on to your penis to keep it out of the way. Now take a deep breath and say, 99."

parkscanada.gc.ca
Ticks are prevalent in many areas of Alberta. The risk of contracting Lyme's and other diseases from them is increasing. This Waterton Lakes fact sheet contains information on safely removing ticks, etc.
M Tick-borne Disease Prevention 3€
WATERTON LAKES NATIONAL PARK OF CANADA
National parks protect wildlands across Canada and are great places to experience and enjoy nature. Wildlife in national parks can pose risks to visitors, even something as small as a tick. Reduce your risk by keeping informed and taking precautions. y
What are ticks?
• Ticks are tiny parasites, which can vary in size from the size of a sesame seed to the size of an apple seed.
• They live mainly in tall grass and wooded areas, and in areas frequently used by ungulates (sheep, deer).
• They wait for the opportunity to crawl onto animals or people in order to find a place to attach and feed. They feed on the blood of animals and humans. As the female draws blood, its body can expand up to 200 times its original weight.
• Ticks are most active in spring and early summer, but may be found earlier or later depending on the weather.
Why be concerned?
• Ticks can carry and transmit various diseases which can have serious effects on people, but cases are rare.
• To cause disease, the tick must be infected itself and it has to be attached to the skin for 18-24 hours.
Reduce your risk
• Walk on cleared trails whenever possible. Avoid rubbing up against bushes and tall grass.
• Wear light-coloured clothing and a hat (to see ticks more easily). Tuck your shirt into your pants and your pant bottoms into your socks. Wear closed footwear.
• Consider applying DEET-based insect repellent onto clothing and uncovered skin.
• Keep an eye out for ticks on your clothing. They are easily brushed off. Check children frequently.
Perform a tick check
• Immediately following your excursion, or at the end of the day, check your skin and hair. Ticks
9 Jl 1 Parks Parcs a m Canada Canada
tend to climb upwards and travel to areas of warmth such as the scalp, groin and armpits. They are often found around the hairline.
• Check your pets. Tick-borne diseases can affect them too, and their ticks may transfer to you.
• When you remove your clothing, ensure there are no ticks hiding in it.
Tick removal tips
• If you find a tick, remove it immediately. Ticks rarely bite right away, so in most cases they can be easily brushed off or removed.
• Tf the tick is embedded, you must carefully remove it so that its mouth parts do not stay in your skin. Use tweezers or fingers to get hold of the tick as closely to the skin as possible. Slowly, but steadily, pull the tick's body away from the skin. Do not jerk or twist it. Do not squeeze the tick, as this may cause it to inject more toxins.
• If you don't completely remove the tick, remove remaining parts as you would a sliver.
• After removing the tick, wash your hands and clean the area with soap and water. Apply a disinfectant and a bandage. Check the site over the next few days for redness or a rash.
When to see a doctor
• If you are unable to remove the entire tick or the area becomes infected, see your doctor immediately.
• If you develop a rash in the bite area (particularly a bull's-eye rash, which expands out in a ring around the bite area), or if unusual flu-like medical symptoms develop within 2 weeks, see your doctor immediately.
These diseases can be treated
• Tick-borne diseases can be treated, particularly if caught early. Typically, these diseases are treated

.THANK YOU
What a wonderful community we live in, and by "community", we mean everyone who considers themselves to be from Milo. We had a most amazing turnout of about 50 volunteers who came out to for a Community Clean-up party on June 14. A huge thank you goes out to all of you for taking the day to spend working together as a group. Thank you for taking a day out of your schedule (and perhaps paycheck too!) and for bringing in your equipment and just going to it, completing whatever needed to be done.
A thank you also to those business owners who joined in the efforts that day, whether it was over your lunch-hour, sending in a team throughout the day to help, washing your own windows and planting flowers to make Main Street look beautiful, or sending out your son to mow your own lots. All of this was so greatly appreciated and definitely did not go unnoticed. The care that you each take to look after your buildings and your section of the Village, whether it be through planting flowers, picking weeds, putting up new signs, etc., is so important and just shows your respect for your customers and our town. Thank you for that.
And to those residents who also made the extra effort to go out and work on your yards that day. This made everyone's efforts so more effective because we all noticed how everyone was pitching in to make things beautiful everywhere. Thank you for taking the time to care for your yards also. A special thank you too those of you who also take the time to water or weed or just take
general care of the flower boxes, and those beautiful rose bushes by the bank. Your efforts do not go unseen. Thank you for your care and attention to them.
The efforts by our school children were significantly treasured, both in the garbage clean-up day, and all of the hard work they put in for the Community Clean-up too. You are such an important part of our community and your help was valued. They too noticed everyone’s labours as 1 heard one student say, "This is so cool.
Everywhere you look, you see someone.
Milo is so busy today. It's just like the old days. It's so great to see everyone out."
We are also so thankful for the wonderful job that was done on straightening and fixing up the school ball diamond fence and backstop. It looks so much better. We needed an expert to fix it, and you did it!
Thank you also to the wonderful Moms and ladies who have been helping to brighten the town up with new paint and planting flowers. And to Melissa and her crew for putting a little reminder down for our drivers to keep our Playground zone safe. When leaving the park the other day, a little girl said "What a great park, and what a lovely jungle gym!". So sweet! And I know that kids of all ages have been enjoying the new and improved "Merry-Go-Round" also!
We would also like to thank The Elevator,
The Milo Seed Cleaning Plant, and Milo Green Foods for providing the wonderful lunch for us, to whomever lent us the BBQ to cook on, and for the ladies who cooked and served it to us. It was a great treat and a nice time to socialize together.
It really does take "A Village to raise a Village” and you all came through that day to show us that this is so true. Thank you all from the bottom of all of our hearts. Your energies are so important and vital to the sustainability of our Village.
With much gratitude
Clean-Up OrganizersNOTICE FROM MII.O FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Please note that the June 24 house fire on property east of Milo Hotel (commonly known as the old Beechman house) is believed to have been intentionally set. Because of this, we feel that other properties in the village, especially unoccupied, may be at risk. We ask the public to be vigilant in watching for any suspicious activity and to call 91 I if you feel the threat is real.
CONDOLENCES
Our deepest sympathies are extended to Edna Shield and family on the loss of Charlie.

Lots of grass cutting, weed whipping, painting, repairs, planting flowers, etc. was done under a lovely sunny sky. An attractive Village encourages new residents !!

Email Barb Godkin (igodkin(5)wildroseinternet.ca) if you want copies and can't pick up (or have a friend do so for you) in town.My the Rev. Gordon Cranch
In a recent issue of The Advocate, there was a copy of the valedictory address by Kimberley Wiens of Lomond. It was a refreshing boost to my feeling about young people and also on the way schools turn out graduates ill prepared to meet the real world head on. In the address, Kimberley speaks of the value of inner beauty, quite a contrast from the world's preoccupation with clothes, looks, and material goods. We live in a society that promotes the individual but in reality, we must have a support group, we must be part of a team to really succeed in today's world. There are only a very few truly capable of individual achievement. There is the fallacy out there that you can be anything that you want, anything that you put your mind to. That is just not true. According to my math, 23 individuals have been Prime Minister of Canada. 23 out of how many millions who have lived since 1867? And a few of those were ill equipped for the job, come to think of it. How many young hockey players aspire to the NHL? How many actually make it? Not that many. Think of all the rock star wannabe's. Thankfully most of their careers flame out and die a deserving death. But think of all the others who become doctors, nurses, teachers, farmers, bankers and so on. They live perfectly happy lives enjoying family life, building and contributing to communities throughout Canada. They have iearned how to be community leaders. They have learned how to form networks of friends and co-workers. In the same vein, I read of a Boston area teacher who was frank with his students. "You are not special. You are not exceptional." He was making a statement to parents "who overdo it. Focused on collecting achievements. You've been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped...feted and fawned over. You see, if every one is special then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless/ He pushed students to recognize real achievement: "The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life is an achievement,"' and he encouraged graduates "to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in its importance."
Kimberley tells us: Don't think that our transformation from caterpillars into butterflies is now complete. Quite the contrary - I think it has only
begun. It is a lifelong journey of learning and growing into the people God made us to be."
For those of us who graduated many years ago, we can see the truth of this as we continue to adapt, to evolve and grow in a world that expands and contracts at the same time, where changes happen and we are left struggling to keep up. I don't think there is a status quo any more. This is true in my line of work. How to get the message to a world that is increasingly hostile to receiving it? But in that too - God will provide and prevail. See you in church.uty By Michel

The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands. The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."
"Gentlemen, remember — you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."
The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information.
After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand.
"Yes?" said the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"
In the pub...
I was in a pub on Saturday night. Had a few beers.... I noticed two large women by the bar.
They both had strong accents so I asked, "Hey, are you two ladies from Ireland?"
One of them chirped: "It's WALES you friggin' idiot!"
So, I immediately apologized and said..., "Sorry, are you two whales from Ireland?"
That's the last thing I remember...
Gardening with Grandma
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see- through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that! The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" And out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate. The grandmother says, “Loosen up, Sweetie.
If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets."
Happy Gardening.Milo

Save the Koala
(https:// www.savethe koala.com/) According to re­search, Australian koala populations are dwindling and threats such as climate change and urban sprawl are destroying their habitats. Recently, koalas have been added to the threatened species list. This site, run by the not-for- profit Australian Koala Foundation, provides a wealth of information on the koala and the threats that they are facing. It also provides a multitude of ways for you to contrib­ute to this cause.

TECH TIPS
One Space or Two?
Did you know that the proper number of spaces to leave after a period in a typed document is actually one, not two? If you are like the majority of the population, you were taught to always leave two spaces after a period. But this rule was created to compensate for the loose look of mono-spaced type used on typewriters up until about the 1970s. In fact, the single space was adopted by typeset­ters long before hat (the early 20th Century). The double space started to be used in the mid-20th century with the influx of type­writers in the workplace. This is because the mono-spaced type that typewriters use, require hat every character occupies an equal amount of horizontal space. As a result, the text looks loose .leaving a lot of white space between characters. This made the double space after a period necessary to clearly dilineate sen­tences. However, with modern font types this is unnecessary, and now type professionals never use two spaces after a period. In fact, every major style guide, including the MLA Style Manual and Chi­cago Manual of Style, recommend a single space after a period.
This long held habit is a hard one to break though. Just look at the next email or correspondence you get - many people even like to put 3 or 4 spaces after periods.

Happy Canada Day!Chinook Arch Celebrates 20 Years
3T The following is a speech given by
V_.y CEO Maggie Macdonald at the 20th Anniversary
"Chinook Arch is celebrating 20 years of collaboration, innovation and leadership. The old truism “the more things change, the more they stay the same” cannot be said to apply to the past two decades in the library and information world. Looking back, 1992 seems like a different world: AT&T introduced the first video phone - a bargain at $1500, personal computers were not yet ubiquitous, and the internet had not even entered the public consciousness. Portable technology was a distant dream. In 1992, one gigabyte of memory cost $125,000, which means that the iPod Nano you can buy today for $149 would have cost about $2 million. And, in 1992, libraries throughout southern Alberta were mostly isolated as they did their best to meet their users’ needs on their own.
In the past 20 years, as you know, the world of information has changed radically - and libraries have been swept up in the wave. Working together, Chinook Arch libraries have been at the vanguard of change. In 1994, Chinook Arch became the first System in Alberta to start to connect all of its member libraries via a wide-area network. By the end of 1995 all our members were connected and their library holdings were in the catalog. Since our first year recording shared materials between libraries, resource sharing numbers have increased exponentially such that by last year the volume of materials shared had increased by 1,500% since 1994. In 2011 more than 300,000 items moved from one library to another (and back again!). In addition to the materials delivered from one library to another, tens of thousands of books and DVDs are borrowed by patrons who make use of the fact that their library card is reciprocal and can be used at every one of our 32 library sites.
Chinook Arch can claim many instances of early adoption of new technology such as public access internet stations in some of our libraries as early as 1994, the adoption of an the Overdrive ebook lendinq service, the Bibliocommons catalogue and the RISE videoconference network.
Another change that has had a major impact on library service in the past 20 years is a significant increase in collaboration first informally among Alberta's regional libraries and eventually more formally with all libraries in Alberta through TAL. It is safe to say that Alberta libraries stand out in Canada for their level of collaboration which enhances services in every community. We have grown from a network of libraries that shared books to a network that shares all kinds of library services includinq proqrams over our videoconference network.
It bears noting that our provincial public library services branch has also done much to facilitate change and to support libraries as we moved forward in this highly technological age. As early as 1997 the PLSB earmarked funds for library technology that resulted in the creation of the Alberta Public Library tlectronic Network. Over the years as APLEN evolved Chinook Arch has benefitted in a number of ways. Because Chinook Arch had already developed its wide area network, we were able to use APLEN funds to introduce a variety of new technologies. For example, as a direct result of APLEN we were able to introduce remote support for our member libraries computers as early as 1998. We were also able to develop our first websites with a rudimentary content management system and site for every member library beginning in 1999.
Perhaps most important was the support that PLSB gave that led to funding for Supernet connections in every public library in Alberta!
Of course, none of this innovation could happen without the solid commitment and hard work of Chinook . rch staff and Board. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some exceedingly intelligent and talented people. Together, we ve built an incredibly strong and dynamic team that puts in an amazing effort each day to ensure that our members’ needs are met as they go about providinq excellent service in their local communities.
There are a lot of people to thank for the successes of Chinook Arch. I start with our member municipalities and library boards who have supported the System and adapted to change. I also want to thank our staff and all those who have participated as Board members through the years. I thank the Alberta Governments Public Library Services Branch which has provided much support and encouragement. And finally I thank our colleagues from other regional libraries and other libraries throughout the province who are as committed to collaboration as we are.
We have advancedI collaboratively by leaps and bounds and have together created a fantastic example of collaborative leadership and innovation in library service. I am confident that Chinook Arch will continue to meet and conquer the challenges of change in the next 20 years as effectively as we have done these first 20 years.”Recipe

.THANK YOU
What a wonderful community we live in, and by "community", we mean everyone who considers themselves to be from Milo. We had a most amazing turnout of about 50 volunteers who came out to for a Community Clean-up party on June 14. A huge thank you goes out to all of you for taking the day to spend working together as a group. Thank you for taking a day out of your schedule (and perhaps paycheck too!) and for bringing in your equipment and just going to it, completing whatever needed to be done.
A thank you also to those business owners who joined in the efforts that day, whether it was over your lunch-hour, sending in a team throughout the day to help, washing your own windows and planting flowers to make Main Street look beautiful, or sending out your son to mow your own lots. All of this was so greatly appreciated and definitely did not go unnoticed. The care that you each take to look after your buildings and your section of the Village, whether it be through planting flowers, picking weeds, putting up new signs, etc., is so important and just shows your respect for your customers and our town. Thank you for that.
And to those residents who also made the extra effort to go out and work on your yards that day. This made everyone's efforts so more effective because we all noticed how everyone was pitching in to make things beautiful everywhere. Thank you for taking the time to care for your yards also. A special thank you too those of you who also take the time to water or weed or just take
general care of the flower boxes, and those beautiful rose bushes by the bank. Your efforts do not go unseen. Thank you for your care and attention to them.
The efforts by our school children were significantly treasured, both in the garbage clean-up day, and all of the hard work they put in for the Community Clean-up too. You are such an important part of our community and your help was valued. They too noticed everyone’s labours as 1 heard one student say, "This is so cool.
Everywhere you look, you see someone.
Milo is so busy today. It's just like the old days. It's so great to see everyone out."
We are also so thankful for the wonderful job that was done on straightening and fixing up the school ball diamond fence and backstop. It looks so much better. We needed an expert to fix it, and you did it!
Thank you also to the wonderful Moms and ladies who have been helping to brighten the town up with new paint and planting flowers. And to Melissa and her crew for putting a little reminder down for our drivers to keep our Playground zone safe. When leaving the park the other day, a little girl said "What a great park, and what a lovely jungle gym!". So sweet! And I know that kids of all ages have been enjoying the new and improved "Merry-Go-Round" also!
We would also like to thank The Elevator,
The Milo Seed Cleaning Plant, and Milo Green Foods for providing the wonderful lunch for us, to whomever lent us the BBQ to cook on, and for the ladies who cooked and served it to us. It was a great treat and a nice time to socialize together.
It really does take "A Village to raise a Village” and you all came through that day to show us that this is so true. Thank you all from the bottom of all of our hearts. Your energies are so important and vital to the sustainability of our Village.
With much gratitude
Clean-Up OrganizersNOTICE FROM MII.O FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Please note that the June 24 house fire on property east of Milo Hotel (commonly known as the old Beechman house) is believed to have been intentionally set. Because of this, we feel that other properties in the village, especially unoccupied, may be at risk. We ask the public to be vigilant in watching for any suspicious activity and to call 91 I if you feel the threat is real.
CONDOLENCES
Our deepest sympathies are extended to Edna Shield and family on the loss of Charlie.

THANK YOIJ
It was wondertul to see the community spirit that was displayed in the Village of Milo, on Thursday, June 14th, where 41 local souls spent the greater part of the day sprucing up the village. Lots of grass cutting, weed whipping, painting, repairs, planting flowers, etc. was done under a lovely sunny sky. An attractive Village encourages new residents !!
